The worst idea since having Greedo shoot first?

"Rebooting" Buffy?

With no Joss?

And no Sarah?

And supposedly there's a huge fan base just waiting to see it get rebooted?

Uh-huh.

I'll believe that when I see it.



I am trying not to think about this too much lest I get really, really, really angry.

You know what I would love to see? A vampire slayer movie. About Nikki Woods or Xing Rhong or Fray or anyone. I think that would be beyond awesome. Make up a new Slayer! I just am so deeply attached to Smidge. I just love her as Buffy to little bitty bits and I don't want to see anyone else in her part. I'm being petty.

I think fandom at large is going to be upset about the lack of Joss, and the hardcore fans will probably boycott. Me, Joss not being involved? Not the deal breaker. But I don't think that other fans will feel that way.

But I do agree with all of your points, and they're great ones--ESPECIALLY a woman writer. YAY YOU.

I AGREE. I wish we had a Slayer movie. But I understand that they're working with the name brand there.

I think hardcore fans will go see in spite of themselves. Either to convince themselves of how much it sucks. Or if there's good buzz.

I do think this will potentially fracture fandom between Old School and New School. But whatever. I think this fandom needs to get shaken up a bit and the new blood could be good.

WOMAN WRITER YES.

I like what you're saying about the fandom getting shaken up. We could certainly use that. At any rate, the whole thing will be very interesting if/when it happens.

WOMAN WRITER ALWAYS!
